  Fishmeal is a significant protein source for aquatic feed, especially for carnivorous fish. Currently, the price of fishmeal is increasing, also it is mentioned as a competition of human food fish. Replacing fishmeal by other protein sources is therefore an important target. This study tested yeast-fermented canola meal in the diet of Asian sea bass, Lates calcarifer to determine its effects on growth, feed acceptance, feed utilization, nutrient digestibility, body proximate, minerals and their utilization. Diets consisted of a 35% fishmeal base (control) and four diets in which fishmeal protein was replaced by yeast-fermented canola meal at levels of 25, 50, 75 and 100%. For each diet, three groups of fish with an initial weight of 5 g were fed to satiation twice a day for 60 days. Feed intakes and survival rates of test fish fed the di.. View More»
